RRWPC Settles Lawsuit with Russian River County Sanitation District (RRCSD) over Storage Basin EIR
By Brenda Adelman
For the last year and a half, Russian River Watershed Protection Committee (RRWPC) has been quietly challenging the Russian River County Sanitation District’s (RRCSD) approval of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a new Storage Basin at the Treatment Plant. We have finally reached a settlement with the District.
RRCSD Expansion Project divided into four parts…..
The Sonoma County Water Agency are operators and managers of the RRCSD. Their Board of Directors is the Board of Supervisors, who also sit as the Board of Directors for the Water Agency, and who had previously separated treatment plant expansion into four parts. They required each of these parts to be addressed separately, even though they should have been considered together for potential impacts to be examined in full.
